While trying to provision an ESP32 I am getting a warning "failed to detect ESP32 chip". Of course, I selected "No" to the question "Do you want to continue? [y/n]".... how can I proceed if no ESP32 was detected... However, just for fun I answered Yes, and to my surprise, all the provision went well.
What is going on here?
Thanks in advance,
The ESP32 detection in this case is done by calling esptool.py read_mac
(with some additional flags).
It seems like that command doesn't always succeed, even if it can then flash the device.
I filed https://github.com/toitware/public/issues/11. At the very least inviting users to still try to flash the device is probably an improvement.
